A pretty good performance, but lacking any big 2nd set jams, and at times, lackluster SBD sound. Usually don't like to complain about this, but when it

interferes with the enjoyment of the music, as in the case of He's Gone, it's hard to ignore. Really energetic Bird Song that is one of the best I have heard, despite Garcia missing a note during the jam. Also the Sunshine>China>Rider is really cool, and frankly i'm surprised they never did it again; it worked.

In reality, this show was at the St. Paul Auditorium, which is actually still standing, although it's been condensed. This was my first Dead show (I worked

Joe Colella Here Come's Sunshine China Rider MAGIC!
For me this show proves yet again that The Grateful Dead were, are the best rock 'n roll band to ever grace God's green earth! Regardless of technical
...
issues, human foibles, miscues and that wonderful tension, resolve, consonance, dissonance and all points in between, the boys always (night after day after night, tour after glorious tour, show after show) managed to sift pure gold out of the earth dirt mud sand and rock that is live Grateful Dead style jamming. On this night the golden nuggets are clearly unearthed in Here Comes Sunshine>China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider. Jerrys leading through the transition (and beyond!) is over the top. While the band provides a wonderful and strong rythymic pulsation Jerrys notes become wings of pure flight and set this listener free to soar the lofty heights! My Family and Friends have enjoyed this jam countless times when we weren't jamming and creating our own brand of this magic passed down from the boys to us. For those of you who know us the back house in El Granada still rocks! Love and LIGHT to you sll, Joe Colella still playing my brains out on a Jerry Bolt replica through a wall of sound Makintosh 2300>pre-amped by a CAE cutler desinged Twin> into a 3x12 cabinet from Marin loaded woth JBL E120's!

China-Rider
The transition between China-Rider is seamless. The show isn't the best but at least download the China-Rider.

selections worth cherry-picking. I'm always a sucker for Wave That Flag and TLEO from this era. The PITB is pretty good, and the HCS > China Cat is cool. The sound is adequate, the playing is OK, the show as a whole just doesn't grab me. Picky 3 stars

Mediocre Show
In some ways I feel like it's sacrilegious to criticize the Dead, but this is just not one of their better shows. I've suspected for years that the majority
...
of the mid 70's vocal problems were caused by Donna Jean; this show makes that painfully obvious (note her god awful lead vocal on You Ain't Woman Enough & her horribly flat screams in Playing In The Band). Bob Weir also has a subpar night, especially on Not Fade Away & One More Saturday Night. Sound is ok once they get the mix dialed in around half way through set one, other then some distortion on vocal peeks. Highlight of the show for me is a nice Playing In The Band (other then DJ's above mentioned contribution). Sorry to be negative but.........

I think the reason they didn't pick-up on the Sunshine-China-Rider trio is that Here Comes Sunshine is normally played much faster than China Cat, whose

intro here is rushed. Just listen to Bobby play his riff. It does lead to a rockin' version of I know You Rider. The transition is almost studio quality, with Jerry really leading the charge. His solo's rip! I love this show so much. The tape here seems not very crisp, but the overall source mix is incredible. These February '73 shows are tight.

Missing 1/2 of first set
I have to say that it is a shame that that 1/2 of the first set is missing. What happen to it?
"Here Comes Sunshine" > "China Cat Sunflower" > "I Know You Rider" = Holy Trinity. The whole show is worthy of your collection, but fairly standard

for the period. This run of February 1973 shows blows my mind equal to May of 1977.

The Perfect Transition
H.C. Sunshine flows so flawlessly and seemlessly into a great rendition of China Cat > Rider that it seems like a crime that this trilogy never resurfaced.
...
The entire show has high energy and the soundboard mix is as close to perfect as I've heard.
